There were only three Formation Grandmasters in the North Sea's cultivation world. Other than Zhen Ling Sect's Perfected Master Xuan Chen who had just become a Grandmaster, the other two Formation Grandmasters were Xuan Ling Sect's Perfected Master Qian Daofeng, and the other was from Shui Yan Pavilion. All three Formation Grandmasters had come along for this trip to Yingtian Dojo.
In addition, there were also two formation masters. One was from Hai Yan Sect, and the other was from Ling Gu Sect, which had just joined Cang Hai Sect's camp!
Before Cang Hai Sect split up thousands of years ago, its ranking in the North Sea cultivation world was even higher than Zhenling, and its foundation was comparable to that of Xuan Ling Sect.
Unfortunately, after thousands of years of division and internal strife, the Azure Sea Sect didn't even have a single formation grandmaster after they reunited. And this time, after Ling Gu Sect and the Azure Sea Sect formed an alliance, they took up the sect's only late stage Core Forging cultivator's spot, sending the sect's only formation grandmaster to the Midlands to assist the Azure Sea Sect's cultivators in opening the Ying Tian Dojo.
This time, each sect had sent an early Dharma adept, Laozu, to open up Yingtian Dojo. The difference between each sect was reflected in the number of late Core Forging adepts who would accompany them.
After Celestial Laozu advanced to the late Dharma stage and became the second great adept in the North Sea, Zhenling had now become the number one sect in the North Sea. In the battle of Frost Island, Zhenling was the biggest beneficiary. This time, there were a total of four late Core Forging adepts who would accompany them on this trip to Yingtian Dojo.
Xuan Ling Sect, Cang Hai Sect, Hai Yan Sect, and Shui Yan Pavilion were each accompanied by two late Core Forging adepts. Originally, Xuan Ling Sect wanted to fight for three people, but as Zhenling's main target, they naturally received strong opposition from Zhenling. The other sects were unable to restrict Zhenling, so they were more than happy to see Xuan Ling Sect weakened so that they could further shorten the distance between the sects.
As for the other four sects, they were only allowed to send one late Core Forging cultivator to accompany them.
This also reflected the current situation of the North Sea's cultivation world after the Blue Sea Sect was placed side by side. Other than Zhenling, who had an obvious advantage, Xuan Ling Sect, Blue Sea Sect, Hai Yan Sect, and Shui Yan Pavilion were basically in the second tier of the North Sea's cultivation world, while the other four sects were in the third tier.
These nine sects were clearly divided into four factions. Among them, the Jade Sword Faction and the High Brightness Faction were led by Zhenling. The three Dharma Adepts, Laozu, and six late Core Forging Cultivators were the most tyrannical among the four factions.
For some unknown reason, the Cang Hai Sect had managed to win over Xuan Ling Sect's former ally, the Ling Gu Sect, to join them. However, the leader of the Cang Hai Sect, Dongguo Laozu, was a practitioner at the peak of the early Dharma stage. In terms of cultivation, he was the strongest among all the Dharma adepts of the various sects.
Moreover, the Cang Hai Sect had also sent Zhang Xiyi, who was at the peak of the Core Forging Realm and was about to enter the Dharma stage, to accompany them. This person was undoubtedly the strongest among all the late Core Forging Cultivators of the various sects.
However, when Zhang Xiyi saw Lu Ping behind Jiang Tianlin Laozu, the corner of his mouth unconsciously twitched. He, Zhang Xiyi, could be considered famous in the North Sea's cultivation world. Unexpectedly, the battle of Frost Island had become the stepping stone for Lu Ping to become famous in the North Sea.
After Xuan Ling Sect lost the support of the Ling Gu Sect, they only had Fei Yu Sect as their staunch ally. However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Just by looking at the formation master that Xuan Ling Sect had sent out, one could see that.
Compared to Zhenling's Spiritual Master Xuan Chen and Shui Yan Pavilion's Green Tea Enlightened, Zhang Daofeng was undoubtedly the strongest formation master in the North Sea.
Although Zhang Daofeng's cultivation level was only at the late Core Forging Realm, his seniority was the same as Xuan Ling Sect's first generation cultivator, Dao Sheng Laozu. When he became a formation master, Spiritual Master Xuan Chen and Green Tea Enlightened were probably not even formation masters.
Shui Yan Pavilion and Hai Yan Sect had always been independent in the North Sea's cultivation world. However, no one dared to underestimate the alliance between these two sects. Two Dharma adepts and four late Core Forging Realm adepts, with the formation master Green Tea Enlightened among them, their strength was no weaker than the Cang Hai Sect. It was just that these two sects had deliberately kept a low profile, which showed the Cang Hai Sect's aggressiveness.
After the various sects had gathered at the Cang Hai Sect's location, in order not to attract the attention of the Dharma adepts of the three sects, there was not much communication. With the help of the two formation masters, the three formation masters quickly confirmed the approximate location of the Yingtian Dojo.
Looking at Jiang Tianlin Laozu's questioning gaze, Lu Ping nodded his head slightly. The location that the formation masters had confirmed was in the direction of the source of the Yingtian Dojo.
At the source of the Yingtian Dojo, the three formation masters easily confirmed through their own methods that the destroyed altar was the entrance to the Yingtian Dojo. It was just that the various sects did not know how to open the Yingtian Dojo, and they did not have the gray clay pot in Lu Ping's hand. Hence, they could only rely on the powers of the ten Dharma adepts Laozu to tear apart the space where the Yingtian Dojo was located and break through the protective formation of the Yingtian Dojo.
After the five formation masters confirmed the location of the Yingtian Dojo, they quickly set up a sound and light concealing formation within a radius of a few hundred feet. With this formation as cover, the various Laozu's would not be discovered by others due to the earth-shattering formation when they broke through the formation.
Everything was ready. Copper Sword Laozu was the first to make a move. A copper sword slashed at the location indicated by the three formation masters, and the surface of the copper sword's blade was wrapped in a layer of golden light. The vibrating void was like a piece of skin that had been sliced open, revealing the Yingtian Dojo that was covered by the light screen of the formation.
After the void was sliced open by the copper sword Laozu, it was about to close up again. Another four Laozu's gave a loud shout, and four Qi Hands condensed in the sky. After grabbing the two parts of the void that had been sliced open, they violently pulled it apart, and the crack in the void that had been about to close up was instantly torn apart and enlarged.
Immediately after, the remaining four Laozu's, including Dongguo Laozu's group, along with the sixteen late Core Forging adepts, struck at the light screen of the Yingtian Dojo.
Rumble!
The light screen of the formation shook, and even the surrounding void trembled.
"Again!"
Dongguo Laozu shouted. Feng Xutao, Jiang Tianlin, and the others struck again. Finally, the light screen of the formation cracked like glass, and its surface cracked.
When everyone struck for the third time, the light screen of the formation finally shattered, and a hole about ten feet in height appeared in front of everyone.
Lu Ping controlled the Golden Scale Sword to participate in the attack. Through the hole, he could clearly see that the Yingtian Dojo was covered by various restrictions.
Seeing the dojo of a large sect standing in front of them, and thinking about the inheritance of the Yingtian Dojo inside, even though the Laozu's were used to the storms of the cultivation world, they could not contain their excitement at this moment. One by one, they turned into streaks of light and flew into the hole in the void.
Perfected Xuanchen said in a low voice, "Let's go in quickly as well. This tunnel won't last for long."
Zhenling and the rest followed the Laozu's streaks of light and flew into the dojo. The other sects' cultivators also followed suit and flew into the Yingtian Dojo.
While the Laozu's were using up all the energy in the Yingtian Dojo, Dongguo Laozu, relying on his peak early Dharma stage cultivation, took the lead and entered the dojo. Feng Xutao followed closely behind him. Jiang Tianlin Laozu, however, was the last among the nine Laozu's.
Furthermore, when Jiang Tianlin Laozu entered the dojo, he had already reacted half a beat slower than the others. In order to be first, he had to try to overtake the Dharma adepts in front of him from the side of the tunnel. However, he had forgotten that after losing the support of the other Laozu's, the entire tunnel began to shrink.
When Jiang Tianlin Laozu passed from the side, he almost triggered the spatial fragments on both sides of the tunnel as well as the protective formation of the Yingtian Dojo behind the tunnel. For a moment, Jiang Tianlin Laozu, who had always been famous in the cultivation world of the North Sea, was in a sorry state.
In order to avoid these restrictions, Jiang Tianlin Laozu had no choice but to move away from the front of the dojo, which was covered by the multi-colored restrictions. Thus, he was forced to land in a remote area of the dojo.
It was not easy to see the famous Zhenling Jiang Tianlin Laozu make a fool of himself in front of everyone. Tongjian Laozu and Sanming Laozu had some understanding of Jiang Tianlin Laozu's abilities. With Jiang Tianlin Laozu's abilities, being the last one to enter the Yingtian Dojo had already surprised the two of them. Now that Jiang Tianlin Laozu had made such a mistake, the expressions on their faces became even more strange.
Although the Laozu's from the other sects did not show their expressions due to the power of Zhenling, their gazes still showed that they were openly mocking Jiang Tianlin.
However, what the crowd did not see was that when Jiang Tianlin Laozu staggered from the tunnel to the ground, his sleeves inadvertently touched the ground.
After tidying himself up a little, Jiang Tianlin Laozu acted as if nothing had happened and slowly walked in the direction where everyone was gathered. Jiang Tianlin Laozu seemed to be unaware of the ridicule in everyone's eyes.
At this time, Lu Ping and the others also flew in one after another from outside the space. Jiang Tianlin Laozu's accident just now was not only seen by the Laozu, but also by the Core Forging Stage cultivators of the various sects. Apart from the cultivators of Zhenling, the cultivators of the various sects looked at Jiang Tianlin Laozu with strange gazes.
Only Zhang Xiyi looked at Jiang Tianlin Laozu with a puzzled expression. He was also a proud son of heaven like Jiang Tianlin Laozu, so he had a deep understanding of Jiang Tianlin Laozu. He did not think that this was a mistake on Jiang Tianlin Laozu's part.
However, Zhang Xiyi didn't notice anything amiss in the end, and he could only put away the bewilderment in his heart. He stood behind Dongguo's Ancestor before the corners of his mouth moved, and he seemed to be communicating with Dongguo's Ancestor.
The moment everyone entered the Yingtian Dojo, the previously broken space and the Protective Array of the Dojo automatically recovered.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu and the other sects Laozu stood in front of the area covered by the Restrictive Array, while Lu Ping and the others followed behind him. When Jiang Tianlin Laozu turned around, he exchanged a look with Lu Ping that no one else knew. Jiang Tianlin Laozu nodded slightly, and a trace of joy flashed across Lu Ping's face.
